Suds, spitzbuben, sausage, soup, song add atmosphere to Oktoberfest SNACK TIME, Tony Phillips, juggler and co- median, snacks during his performance. He also juggled knives and torches, (Photos by Jennie Straight) he tantalizing aroma of Ger- man sausage, bierocks, apple dumplings and spitzbuben lured hundreds of students and area residents to the Frontier Park on a brisk Friday, Sept 30. Long before the crowds arrived, Oktoberfest participants erected 64 booths, featuring everything from homemade pretzels to beer and carved onyx to western Kansas rocks. And for those willing to take a gamble, there was an opportunity to risk a few dollars playing Bossy Bingo. Oktoberfest, although often con- sidered an after-harvest festival, actually began nearly 1 80 years ago as a wedding celebration in honor of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese Von Sachen Hildburghausen. The local celebration, in its 16th year, bears little resemblance to the original festival, with the exception perhaps of song and dance and mugs of foaming beer. The festival is a combined effort of the Volga German Society, the uni- versity and the city of Hays. The opening ceremonies began at 9:30 a.m. and included a German welcome encouraging folks to, “Essen und trinken und haben einen guten Zeit.” Eat and drink and have a good time. Throughout the day, violins, key- boards, drums, accordians and vari- ous brass instruments tempted even the least musical to tap a toe to the familiar strain of a favorite polka. Tony Phillips, part of the Phillips Brothers comedy show, poked fun at several of the villages surrounding Hays and periodically reminded his brother, “It’s a party, Dave.” He even dashed into the audience to place a towel on a balding pate. The glare, he said, was blinding him and mak- ing it impossible for him to continue his juggling. In addition to all the fun and frolic, Oktoberfest provided campus organ- izations an opportunity to earn some money. Cammie Farr, Hays special stu- dent, said the Sternberg Geology Club earned $500 selling soft drinks and Munjor sausage. She said club members smelled like smoked sausage after the day was over. Part of the money paid for a club party, and part of it purchased two video tapes. “Oktoberfest is a blast. It’s better than the parties it pays for,” Farr said. Jennie Straight Campus Life ll
